The Cops
Michele Pagan is now a sergeant for the Palm Beach Police
Department.
In early 2012, at a reception at Mar-a-Lago, Detective Joe
Recarey received the first Palm Beach Police Foundation Police
Officer of the Year award—one of several honors he received in
the course of his twenty-three-year career in Palm Beach. Two
years later, he left the department and took a job as director of
loss prevention for the Gold Coast Beverage company.
“lve been [at the Palm Beach Police Department] longer than
my children have been alive,” he told a reporter for the Palm
Beach Daily News when he left. “I'm going to miss a majority of
the people I’ve worked with, and, obviously, I'm going to miss
the work. This is my extended family. Like many families, you
have disagreements with some family members. But you over-
look that, and you work together and you're a team. I’m going to
look back and miss a lot of the people I've worked with.”
Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter left the department in
2008 after twenty-eight years on the job. He now runs his own
security company in Palm Beach.
